So it happened ! It actually happened. Before I talk about the surgery (which was today) I'll explain my background.
I've been an A cup my entire life and I've always had larger aerolas. They only look appealing to me when they're cold as the aerola would shrink. At one point I thought I had tuberous breasts but my doctor explained that my breasts looked 'pointy' because of the larger aerola. I've been embarrassed of them since I've had them. They've restricted me in so many ways. This surgery was my gift, so I wanted to make it worth it!
I found my PS through word of mouth. He is apparently the best in Edmonton!
First consult I initially decided on 325cc. My biggest fear was to have these big [RS bleep] breasts that would make me look top heavy.
I did my research before the 2nd consult. I gathered up as many friends I knew who had their BA and got all their input. They all agreed for me to go bigger. My sister also had a BA 6 years ago and she's the same build as me. She settled for 420cc and they're not overwhelming to look at. She's actually planning on a second surgery to go bigger.
Second consult my PS and I decided on 485cc submuscular, silicone full projection implant by Natrelle. The full projection will make the implant closer together so i wouldnt get that landing strip in between. They will not be too projected forward either but instead rounded everywhere. He recommended this because my upper body frame is small for my build. Choosing a different implants may stretch the skin to much would could cause a 'saggy' look down the road.
My PS gave me a bunch of pre op advice which I'd love to share with anyone who's interested!
The surgery was today and was quick! It's been 12 hours post op and I'm feeling great. The combination of meds he put me on are perfect. I have 0 pain atm and no nausea. We'll see what tomorrow's like as I've heard day 2 and 3 are worse.
I'll post pictures as I go to share my journey.
I'm happy to answer any questions and take all advice!

I wanted 500! I'm a little jealous. My PS told me I would have problems if I went over 385. So I went with my personal max on the left and slightly bigger on the right to even things out. You look great! You're about a month behind me feel free to ask any questions

What was the good preop advice you were given? My surgery is just a little over 2 weeks away!

Congrats! You must be excited! :) Best advice was two wear sweats and a zip up sweater to the surgery. Also plan a medication schedule with alarms and as soon as you wake up from surgery tell them you're in pain so they give you some pain relief. Also make a little bed station for yourself before the surgery. Have Kleenex, water, pain meds pillows, snacks all nearby. Make sure to have an ice pack and heating pad too because your back will be very sore! Oh and go to Victoria secret and purchase one of those sports bras that open from the front. They're the best!!

So the recovery wasn't as bad as I thought itd be. I've decided to minimize my dosage with the pain meds as it makes me very groggy and constipated. Didn't have a BM for 4 days! My breast are warm to touch and overall swollen. Gel ice packs are life lol! I'm able to tackle everyday life chores but very carefully. They're slowly starting to drop but not as quickly as I want! I've been massaging then 3x a day. Hopefully that will help the implants drop. I'll make another update at day 7 !!
